Answer:
f(3) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x^2 – 5x
Let x = 3
f(3) = 2(3)^2 - 5(3)
= 2*9 -15
= 18-15
=3
<h3>17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let x = number of heavy equipment operators employed
Then,
31 - x = number of laborers employed
From given,
Pay of heavy equipment operators = $ 138 per day
Pay of general labours = $ 93 per day
Payroll was $3648
Therefore,
number of heavy equipment operators x Pay of heavy equipment operators + number of laborers employed x Pay of general labours = 3648
138x + 93(31 - x) = 3648
138x + 2883 - 93x = 3648
45x = 3648 - 2883
45x = 765
x = 17
Thus,
31 - x = 31 - 17 = 14
Therefore, 17 heavy equipment operators and 14 general labourers were employed
Answer:
The area of the figure is equal to 
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The area of the figure is equal to the area of a square plus the area of a triangle
<u>Find the area of the square</u>
The area of square is equal to

<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>
The area of the triangle is equal to

therefore
The area of the figure is equal to

To burn off one pound,
100 cal * x = 3500
x= 35
You'll need 35 15 minutes to burn off one pound so, 525 minutes per pound, and you need to lose 7 pounds so,
525*7 = 3675 minutes OR 61.25 hours
